Fetching data from a HTML file
Hi, I've got to fetch data from the snippet below and have been trying to match the digits in this to specifically to specific groups. But I can't seem to figure how to go about stripping the tags! :( Sum2451102561.496 [min] Actually, I'm working on ROBOT Framework, and haven't been able to figure out how to read data from HTML tables. Reading from the source, is the best (read rudimentary) way I could come up with. Any suggestions are welcome! Thanks, Sangeet -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
